Fated to Love You, A Chasing the Comet Novel

A story of true love that burns as fiercely as the stars.

Cassandra Steel loves her family, her friends, helping other people...and science. Her love of science has brought her the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Colombia. Fresh from a devastating break-up with her first boyfriend, Cassie throws herself into her research, sure that love is not meant for her. Therefore she is taken by surprise at the attraction she begins to feel for Zhang Xuan, a fellow science student, although she is convinced that the feeling is strictly one-sided. The time comes to return to the United States, but Cassie has one last thing to do. Having brought a large amount of donated school supplies for the local children, she agrees to drive one of the trucks that will deliver them. Unfortunately for Cassie, tragedy strikes along the way in the form of a devastating mudslide that almost kills her.

Cassie's rescue is nothing short of miraculous, but she finds herself unable to leave the country because of her injuries. Forced to stay behind, she bonds with her rescuer-who is none other than Xuan-and soon they find themselves confessing their feelings for each other. After they return to the States, they begin dating, and fall head over heels in love. But, there are barriers to be breached that threaten to block their union, not least of which is the racism they encounter.

Just when everything seems to be going well, Fate strikes a devastating blow upon the young couple. This time the odds of survival are stacked against them. The road ahead will be a bumpy one for both of them...and they are going to need the love and support of everyone in their lives. Can the red thread of fate that binds them remain unbroken?
